Taiji Crisp Cake

Taiji Crisp Cake

　　Taiji Crisp Cake is a type of flaky pastry characterized by its clear and attractive flaky layers, with a crispy crust and sweet filling. Cooking method: deep-fried. The pastry is shaped like the Taiji (yin-yang) symbol, hence the name. The filling can be either sweet or savory.

　　Roasted peanuts are peeled and chopped, then mixed with honeyed rose petals, white sugar, a small amount of fried flour, and lard to form the filling. Half of the oil-water dough is mixed with food-grade yellow coloring. The yellow and white oil-water doughs are each wrapped around oil-based dough to form cylinders, which are then cut in half lengthwise with the cut side facing down, and further sliced into 8-gram segments. Fun

　　One yellow and one white segment are joined together, shaped into a triangular strip, then the two ends are twisted upward to form a spiral-shaped round cake. The cake is flattened, filled with the prepared filling, and deep-fried in warm lard. A candied cherry is placed on each of the yellow and white sides to complete the pastry. Fun

　　Key tip: Ensure the two dough segments are joined evenly. Fun
